The post is its media, below._ ## What the media says **Video transcript** (6:07), transcribed automatically, so names and numbers may be wrong. Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his: > Mail-in ballots counted without being observed. Those are the ballots we were talking about that were not observed in Allegheny County and in, and in, and in Philadelphia. Correct. Is that right? 682,770. Now this is the part that is a mystery. Mail-in ballots sent out, 1,823,148. But when you go to the count of the final count of the vote, there are 2,589,242 mail-in ballots. What happened? How do you account for the 700,000 mail-in ballots that appeared from nowhere? So our cyber team uses white hat hacking techniques. They gather a lot of publicly available information, and that information was from the Secretary of State's website. That website has been updated as late as 11/16 this morning with provisional and mail-in ballots, so those numbers are still changing. They changed last night, so it's a continual target. This is 22 days after the election. That number, the $2.5 million number is no longer on the website. It's just been taken off? It's not there anymore. Is there any explanation for why it's been taken off? There is no annotations. I mentioned of the deputy sheriff who was there stationed who was a senior law enforcement officer, and I brought it to the attention of the clerk of elections. I brought it to their attention. I objected, and I said this person is not being observed. He's not part of the process that I can see, and he's walking in with baggies, which we have pictures of, and it was submitted in our affidavits, and he was sticking these USBs into the machines. So I personally witnessed over that that happened 24 times, over 24 times. We have multiple other witnesses that saw it, including Democrat poll watchers. I was told the next day by the solicitors, well, actually not the solicitor, but the attorney that we had secured, that they said every election they leave a couple of USBs in the voting machines, and they're brought back, and generally the warehouse manager comes over and puts them in. So in talking to the U.S. Attorney General McSwain and other law enforcement officers, I found out that was not the case, that generally more than two is unusual. So they denied they did it, but as of today, 47 USBV cards are missing, and they're nowhere to be found. So I was told personally that these 24 to 30 cards that were uploaded weren't there. Those cards, I demanded that they didn't update the vote live time, they only updated it about once every two or three hours. I demanded they updated the vote so I could see what the result was, and it was 50,000 votes. And I think as a computer scientist, an American, and a patriot, it doesn't matter who those 50,000 votes were. I'll tell you they were Vice President Biden. But what was shocking to me as an American, as someone who has gone to sea, gone to war, that could even happen. So in the most upsetting, really upsetting to me, in the most upsetting was I had spoke to multiple law enforcement agencies and literally begged multiple law enforcement agencies, they said go in, and it's in order to prove, you know, prove that nothing's happening. You either exonerate yourselves in the process or refute what I'm saying, please, it's a very simple process. Just go get the forensic evidence from the computers. It's a simple process, you turn the computer off, it's non-destructive, takes moments, maybe half an hour, 20 minutes to do it properly and collect the evidence. You open the computer up, you take a device called a bit blocker, you put it in the hard drive, it's done under the observation of law enforcement officers. They take a forensic image of the drive, put it all back together, it wouldn't have taken more than an hour to image all five machines. That was never done, despite my objections, and that was three weeks ago. Lastly, when they said, they said, well, we've got all the forensic records and so forth, we just learned two days ago that virtually all chain of custody, logs, records, yellow sheets, everything was gone. All forensic evidence, all custody sheets in Delaware County are gone. They had a signing party where they sat down and poll workers were invited back to recreate those logs and our understanding as of today was that they were unsuccessful in getting them all. So we have a situation where we have 100,000 ballots to 120,000 ballots, both mail-in and USB, they're in question. Now, there's no cure for this, there's no remedy for this. As a home charter, we could have a re-election in Delaware County for our own representatives within our own town, but there is no cure for that for the President of the United States. And I believe as a citizen and an observer to this that anybody could certify that vote in any good conscience. ## Media - video: https://static-assets-1.truthsocial.com/tmtg:prime-ts-assets/media_attachments/files/115/833/513/641/209/114/original/efad4afb60e6eedd.mp4 ## Engagement - Likes: 927 - Reposts: 298 - Replies: 57 - Views: unknown - Metrics collected: 2026-02-01T01:19:51.286Z (UTC) # Analysis _Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-09-08T17:15:34.014Z (UTC): a model's reading of this post, not his words. Its psychological terms describe the language, not a clinical assessment of him._ ## Summary This January 3, 2026 post is media-only, with no words from Trump himself. He amplified a video reasserting long-rejected 2020 Pennsylvania election-fraud claims (unaccounted mail-in ballots, unsupervised USB insertions into voting machines, missing chain-of-custody records) roughly six years after the election, three days before the January 6 anniversary. With no original text, there is no stylometric basis for authorship; timing (early evening at the presumed Mar-a-Lago location) is ambiguous, and the attribution question here concerns who selected the clip rather than who wrote anything, at low confidence. Psychologically, recirculating this narrative absent any proximate trigger in the surrounding week's events reads as sustained grievance maintenance consistent with paranoid preoccupation with the 2020 outcome, rather than a reactive response to acute injury. The clip's rhetoric — credentialed-witness framing, granular but unverified statistics, implied institutional cover-up — is a familiar vehicle for stolen-election reality distortion that has historically been linked to mobilization risk, supporting an "elevated" rather than "none" danger rating even though this specific post contains no explicit call to action. No factual claims are logged as the subject's own, since all assertions in the transcript belong to the video's speaker, not to Trump. ## Post Overview This is a media-only repost: a video clip (no caption, no original text) containing testimony/commentary re-litigating 2020 Pennsylvania election-fraud allegations — disputed mail-in ballot totals in Allegheny County and Philadelphia, an unattended election worker inserting USB drives into machines "24 times," 47 missing USB cards, absent chain-of-custody logs, and a demand for forensic imaging that was allegedly never granted. The speaker in the clip is not identifiable as Trump himself; the transcript is third-party testimony/narration. The analyzable behavior is the *selection and amplification* of this specific clip, six years after the 2020 election, posted as part of a short burst of same-day reposts. ## Authorship Attribution No stylometric evidence is available (no original text). Timing: 22:26 UTC on Jan 3, 2026. Trump's location is most plausibly Mar-a-Lago (Florida, EST/UTC-5) based on the New Year's Eve/Netanyahu meeting context in the preceding week, placing this at ~5:26 PM local — ordinary evening hours, not the classic late-night/early-morning authentic-posting window. The post is one of several bare retruths clustered on the same day, consistent with either Trump personally scrolling and reposting content he encountered, or staff queuing sympathetic material. Because there is no written text, this determination rests solely on timing and posting-pattern context, not on any linguistic marker, and should be read as an inference about *who selected the clip* for the feed, not who authored any words. Confidence is capped at low. ## Level 1–3: Traits, Motives, Narrative No first-person language is available to score trait facets, agency/communion motives, or narrative-identity construction directly. What can be inferred from *selection* alone: continued psychological investment in the 2020 election-fraud narrative as a stable, recurring theme of Trump's self-presentation — protagonist positioned as wronged party/whistleblower whose warnings were ignored by law enforcement and election officials ("I personally witnessed... I demanded... I begged multiple law enforcement agencies"). This is a contamination narrative structure at one remove (an election that should have been won, subverted by concealed malfeasance) rather than one Trump narrates in his own voice here. ## Level 4: Clinical Indicators **Paranoid features (salient):** The amplified content centers on suspicion of concealed wrongdoing (missing USBs, altered vote totals, deleted chain-of-custody records), officials refusing simple exculpatory steps, and evidence "disappearing." Selecting and recirculating this specific narrative years after the event is consistent with sustained, low-grade preoccupation with perceived persecution/sabotage rather than an acute injury response to a proximate trigger. **Narcissistic features:** Indirect — the clip implicitly casts the 2020 outcome as illegitimate, protecting a grandiose self-narrative (rightful winner) against a contaminating defeat, but this is inferred from content choice, not direct assertion. **Trigger type:** Best characterized as maintenance/grievance rehearsal rather than a specific narcissistic injury — no acute provocation appears in the surrounding week's events. Notably, the post lands three days before the sixth anniversary of January 6, which may be relevant context for a longitudinal analyst even though the clip itself contains no explicit call to action. **Defense mechanisms:** Rationalization and distortion are present in the amplified content itself (reframing an unresolved/rejected fraud narrative as suppressed truth); by choosing to platform it without commentary, Trump engages in tacit endorsement without personally asserting the claims, which can also function as strategic distancing/plausible deniability. ## Rhetorical & Danger Assessment The clip employs appeal-to-authority framing ("computer scientist, an American, and a patriot"), procedural-sounding detail (specific vote counts, forensic terminology) to lend credibility to unproven claims, and implies institutional cover-up. No dehumanizing language, no explicit call to mobilization, and no identifiable target for action are present. Danger level: **elevated**, not high — the content sustains a long-running stolen-election narrative with documented historical association (January 6) rather than containing a proximate incitement. ## Summary This January 3, 2026 post is media-only, containing no words from Trump. He amplified a video reasserting debunked 2020 Pennsylvania election-fraud claims (unaccounted mail-in ballots, unsupervised USB insertions, missing chain-of-custody records) roughly six years after the election and three days before the January 6 anniversary. No first-person text is available for stylometric authorship analysis; timing (weekday early evening at Mar-a-Lago) is ambiguous and the attribution here concerns clip selection rather than authorship, at low confidence. Psychologically, the choice to recirculate this specific narrative — absent any proximate trigger in the surrounding week's events — reads as grievance maintenance consistent with sustained paranoid ideation about the 2020 outcome rather than a reactive injury response. The clip's rhetoric (credentialed-witness framing, granular but unverified statistics, implied cover-up) is a hallmark reality-distortion vehicle for the broader stolen-election narrative that has previously been linked to mobilization risk, warranting an "elevated" rather than "none" danger rating despite the absence of explicit calls to action in this specific post. No factual claims are attributed to Trump directly, since the assertions belong to the video's speaker. ## Authorship Analysis **Uncertain** (score: 50%) ### Indicators - No original text; determination rests entirely on timing/posting-pattern, not stylometry - Posted ~5:26 PM local time at presumed Mar-a-Lago location — ordinary evening hours, not the classic late-night authentic window - Part of a same-day cluster of bare retruths, consistent with either personal scrolling or staff queuing - Content aligns with Trump's long-documented personal fixation on 2020 election fraud claims ## Psychological Profile ### State **Vulnerable State** **Trigger:** Maintenance (No proximate injury identified in surrounding events; content re-litigates 2020 election outcome absent a specific current-week provocation) Sentiment: -0.40 ### Clinical **Malignant Narcissism:** - Narcissistic: 30% - Antisocial: 10% - Paranoid: 60% - Sadism: 0% **Defense Mechanisms:** - distortion (pathological) - rationalization (neurotic) **Cognitive Complexity:** - Complexity: 0% **Parasocial Techniques:** - Platforming a purported eyewitness/'computer scientist' to lend authority to unverified claims - Recirculating emotionally charged 'discovery' narrative (missing ballots, vanished records) to sustain audience grievance ## Danger Assessment **ELEVATED** ### Indicators - Sustains a long-running stolen-election narrative historically associated with mobilization risk (January 6) - Posted three days before the sixth anniversary of January 6, though the clip contains no explicit call to action ## Tags - election-fraud-claims (90%) - media-only-post (100%) - grievance-maintenance (60%) - paranoid-ideation (50%) - january-6-anniversary-proximity (30%) ## That day _From trump.fm's machine-generated digest of the day, not his words._ **A dawn regime-change announcement, then 34 posts in 35 minutes relitigating 2020** Trump announced the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Maduro at 4:21 in the morning from Mar-a-Lago, then went quiet for nearly seven hours before returning with celebration content — a trophy photo of Maduro aboard a Navy ship, patriotic clips, and a run of seventeen photos posted in four minutes. The strangest stretch came in the early evening, when he pushed out roughly 34 posts in 35 minutes, almost all of them other people's videos that he boosted and then immediately reposted. Most of that block had nothing to do with Venezuela: it was 2020 election-fraud claims, Minnesota fraud investigations, and one clip accusing a sitting governor of orchestrating a legislator's murder. He barely wrote anything himself all day — 62 posts, but only four contained his own words. He was in a triumphant mood throughout, with almost no anger, and he stopped posting before 7 PM.
